q Sc Ball.

1t is well-known fact that the Portland
Base Ball Association did losing business
the past season. The gentlemen who have
the management of the club had to put their
hands in their pockets to meet the expenses.
For this reason, while they think that next
year the receipts will be larger, they are not
ready to take the risk alone. Last evening
meeting of gentlemen interested in base
ball was held at the Falmouth Hotel, invita-
tions having been issued by the directors to
all the gentlemen whose names occurred to
them. 1t was not a private meeting in any
sense. About fifteen well-known gentlemen
were In attendance. The directors, through
the president of the association, made
statement to the effect that they should not
run team in Portland without some help.
They propose to issue additional stock and
place it on the market, the directors taking
enough of the new stock themselves to re-
tain control of the corporation. Considera-
BILE enthusiasm was manifested by the gem
tlemen present and upwards of 80 shares of
stock were pledged to be taken. 1t is pro-
posed to issue 100 shares of new stock. This
stock is for sale to anybody who cares to
help along the interests of the game in this
city. All present agreed to use their best
endeavors to induce their friends to pur-
chase stock. 1t seems to be pretty certain
that the necessary 100 shares can be disposed
of, in which case strong team will be put
in the field next year, one able to hold its
own with the strong aggregations that are
being got together in Worcester and other
New England League cities. Probably Mr.,
Spence will again be manager.
